So I started buying apartments. 

You may not occupy your apartment without electric service except during brief interruptions beyond your control.

I'm in a 1,300 sq ft apartment that's worth about $1.5 million and rents for $3,000 per month. 

Buy you a super cheap used RV and be their "host" /park manager as a part time gig. 

Doing everything for little 2-6 unit townhouses all the way to 300+ unit apartment complexes and 5-over-1 mixed used buildings with 200 units over 20k sf of commercial and structured parking.

This friend informed me of an investment opportunity in Dubai renting out flats (multi room apartments) by the room.

When managing the "security" this mortgage is a part of they probably have a strategy for how to manage that is based on keeping a stable known risk for the security.

And they had taken the kitchen cabinets apart and burned them in the fireplace for heat.....I salvaged some and painted over the burn marks, didn't look half bad....ya can't make it up, right?

It is booming though, but they are also building a ton of apartments there.

My story isn't even that bad compared to another CA   investor who bought 2 apartment buildings in the Midwest Class C and was told property values would go up with gentrification.
